Ethiopia Halo Hartume 250g

Descriere

This natural coffee is the fruit of the work of almost 450 farmers spread around the station.

After harvesting, they bring their cherries to the station, which then sorts them meticulously before putting them out to dry on the station’s raised beds.

During the drying process, the humidity level is monitored and the cherries are turned every two hours. During the hottest part of the day, the beds are covered to protect the cherries from the sun.

Once dry, the coffee is stored in jute sacks in a warehouse in Chelchele, 5 km away.

The Halo Hartume station has 310 drying beds and covers 4.5 hectares. It employs nearly 100 people. Between the Beriti and Shasemene mountains, the station collects cherries from around 450 outgrowers, all from the Halo Hartume kebele. The area under cultivation varies from 1.5 to 12 hectares.

The station’s priority? To stay close to the farmers and improve the quality of the coffees from year to year. The farmers linked to the Halo Hartume station receive training every year, and maintain close links with RAD, the exporter we work with and owner of the Halo Hartume station.
